About Lloyd Kahn

Lloyd Kahn started building his own home in the early '60s and went on to publish books showing homeowners how they could build their own homes with their own hands. He got his start in publishing by working as the shelter editor of the Whole Earth Catalog with Stewart Brand in the late '60s. He has since authored six highly-graphic books on homemade building, all of which are interrelated. The books, "The Shelter Library Of Building Books," include Shelter, Shelter II (1978), Home Work (2004), Builders of the Pacific Coast (2008), Tiny Homes (2012), and Tiny Homes on the Move (2014). Lloyd operates from Northern California studio built of recycled lumber, set in the midst of a vegetable garden, and hooked into the world via five Mac computers.

One Response to Interview About My Layout Style (and More)

Feel free to take all the time that you need! If it's not fun don't do it!! The books that you so graciously share with all of us are treasured items that will live on long after we leave this planet, heritage heirlooms of what is possible if you let your mind and imagination expand! Thank you to you and the whole team! I gave my neighbor a copy of "Tiny Homes On The Move" and these youngsters and it left them bug eyed and speachless. Bingo!!!!
